Griffin Per sonally in Charge The latest banking reports,'’ said W. I-, Peel, president of the American National Bank, “show that the State of Massachusetts has 880 million* of dollars in savings deposits. Georgia hns eighteen millions.” And from that text Colonel Peel made a little sermon. He talked less from the standpoint of a banker than that of a kindly, thoughtful naan who has seen much of life. "Of course, that's an evidence of New England thrift,” Colonel Peel 8aid. “And jet I suspect the staid New Englanders are saying the same thing we are saying down here—that all the tendency of the age is to spend, and spend, and* then spend some more. “I have obseived the way most modern parents train their children; or, perhaps, I had better say, the way they do not train them. To the average child of to-day a pennj\ or a nickel, or a quarter, is merely some thing which it can take to a store and exchange for a whim of the moment —candy, oranges, a toy Parents Set No Example. “There is little or no regard for saving taught, the children, even when the parents are hard put to it to sup port themselves—and they are set ting no example of saving, for with evecj* increase of income there is a proportionate or an excessive increase of expense. “And I have seen these children growing into young men, and the young men going to work—and the habit is exactly the same. A dollar— ten dollars—fifty dollars—means the equivalent, of a certain amount of pleasure or recreation. They live up to their salaries. Some of them live beyond. They continue working for a living, because thej- do not save enough to engage in an\' business of their own. “And what is the future? It is something hard to contemplate and harder still to endure. I wonder they never seem to think of it, **F will say frankly, I do not see anything more alarming and more distresjsng In all our modern ways and mode of life than this same ex travagance.” Then Colonel Peel spoke a little of his own experience. $200 and Suit First Year. “It wasn’t fco much fun at first/’ he said. “The first year I worked I got $200 and a suit oi clothes. I saved nearly every cent of the $200, and I was very careful of the clothes. I was living at home, and that enabled me to save the money. "When I came to Atlanta in 1876 I wm married and my family was started. I was getting $3,000 a year, and there is an old account book in Due vault over there that shows my total expenditures for the first year to be not more than $7o0. including rent. It didn’t take very long for me to save enough to buy my Peachtree street home. I guess it’s worth $100,- 000 to-day.” Colonel Peel laughed a little as he told about a coachman he had years ago. "I got .that fellow to start a savings account, and pretty soon he had enough money to carry him to Wash ington, wh§re he got a good job. Now he’s a real estate operator in New York, ahd owns his own home, and is well off. “It isn’t so much earning as sav ing that does it." Mr. Peel concluded. Paul Armstrong’s Wife G-ets Divorce NEW. YORK. Dec. 13.—Mrs. Bella Abeil Armstrong, wife of Paul Arm strong, the playwright, has been award ed a final decree of divorce by Justice Tollman. She received $7,500 annual alimony and the custody of her three children.

Graves in Eloquent Speech Stirs Audience at the Atlanta Theater. The Empty Stocking Fund is sev eral hundred dollars larger Saturday as a result of the benefit show at the Atlanta Theater. It was one of the finest combinations of talent ever assembled in Atlanta. The audience thought so, and dis played its feelings bj r demanding nu merous encores. Above all the spirit that was im pressed will cause other plans for the Empty Stocking Fund to succeed, and Atlanta will have a happier Christmas. If all the people of means in At lanta had heard one feature on that bill there would be no want and suf fering in the city this Christmas. Eloquent John Temple Graves struck the best note of the Atlanta spirit when he introduced Forrest Adair in a doll auction that proved to be inimitable. His expression of the spirit back of the Empty Stock ing Fund will long be remembered. Bidding Was Exciting. It developed exciting bidding for the dolls, and the four so beautifully dressed by Mrs. Wilmer E. Moore, Mrs. George M. McKenzie. Mrs. Wil liam A. Speer and Mrs. Joseph Rhodes brought $37. A. B. Steel bought one. Mr. Adair himself outbid the entire audience on another. Mrs. Carrie Rosser took another and the buyer of the fourth wishes his name withheld. The spirit with which the high- salaried artists entered into the af fair was inspiring. The bill opened with an overture by the Atlanta Theater Orchestra. Then followed Ellery’s Royal Italian Band that is playing at the Audito rium under the auspices of the Atlan ta .Music Festival Association. That start assured the success of the show, and it was strengthened by solos by Thomas Wallace, tenor, and Bayne Young, baritone. The band played the overture from Wagner’s "Tannhauser” and the solos were Clay’s “I’ll Sing Thee Songs of Arat>y” and “Dio Possinte” from Gou nod’s “Faust.” Boy Scouts Pleasing. Next came the Australian Boy Scouts from the bil 1 at the Forsyth Theater. The act was signally appro priate for a Christmas benefit, for well as they acted the boys were not much beyond the age of hanging up stock ings themselves. Auriema, the sensatio.i of the “movie” theaters, came next. He did well, indeed, and In a letter to The Georgian showed what u pleasure it was for him to appear at the matinee ‘I think the idea of a Christmas benefit for such a universal charity ns that which will fill otherwise emjtv GOLD SPECTACLES.

As fine a treat as lovers of dra matic abilit> r of the first order could wish to hear were the numbers of Wilton Lackaye and Rose Coghlan, stars of‘“Fine Feathers.” The real Lackaye and the real Coghlan ga /e monologues that revealed art that would bring them praise in any plajx Mr. Lackaye recited “King Rob ert.” Miss Coghlan recited from Ste phen Phillips’ “Ulysses” and the “Charge of the Light Brigade.” House and Francis, the best acro bats in the Atlanta Athletic Club, did a great tumbling act. Then came the doll auction. The close of the bill was the charm ing act of Yvette, that wonderful lit tle violinist who plays, dances and sings all at the same time. To make her act even better J. P. Matthieser. brought his orchestra over from the Forsyth Theater, where Yvette :s playing this week. Thanks for Managers. After she had responded to encore after encore, Yvette came out and j stopped the orchestra with the re- j mark that she was going to make a speech. “If you have enjoyed my act as | well as I have enjoyed playing for the poor children I am glad indeed,” she said. Too much appreciation can not be expressed for the co-operation of Hugh Cardoza, manager of Jake Wells* theaters in Atlanta, who man aged thf* show, and Homer George, manager of the Atlanta Theater. The stage direction was in the able charge of Frank Standard, of the Forsyth Theater, and B. i. < Smith annount ed the numbers. . Forrest Adair, Empty Stock ing Fund Auctioneer, buys handsome one himself.
